We have been fortunate enough to go on a date night every month since Benjamin was born. First month was to see Harry Potter, the second month was dinner out at the Brickhouse in Redmond, and this month we went to the Oregon State Fair to see the David Cook concert. We are so lucky to have parents who love to watch Benjamin! We dressed him appropriately to go to the Gehring home. :)
Benjamin is growing SO fast. He was 16.1 pounds on 9/9/09. He is learning to smile (which melts our hearts!), grab things with his hands and is interested in toys and books now. Lights, fans and mom and dad's faces still are his favorite things to look at. Ben is also getting better at tummy time and can keep his head up for quite a little while. We're still working on the whole sleep thing, so don't ask about that... He was a "colicky" baby, but he is starting to turn a new leaf and is content to be put down now, much to mom's relief. Mom has also learned that she cannot eat chocolate as it upsets his tummy. Bummer! He's worth it though...we love this little cutie and feel blessed every day to be his parents.

Hands-on daddy.
